https://doi.org/10.4467/25444654SPP.17.025.7412What does the decent pension mean?
It is generally considered that every retirement pension, even the lowest, shall be ‘decent’. The legislator does not define this term. He does not formalize any conditions which can be used to determine retirement’s character. As a result we do not know whether tlowest retirement pension can be treated as decent, providing proper conditions of existence.

The article no. 70 subsection 3 of the Act on retirement pensions and other pensions from the Social Insurance Fund was questioned by the Constitutional Tribunal. In the judgment given in year 2014 the Constitutional Tribunal pointed out a contradiction between the article mentioned above and the Polish Constitution. The questioned issue concerned the entitlement to the survivorship pension granted solely to the divorced spouse with granted alimony. It is considered that the entitlement to the survivorship pension should also concern those who were paid alimony by the spouse on a voluntary basis.
